Study the Process

Put process first and results follow.  

Remember the John Wooden process:

EDIRx5

E = explanation

D = demonstration

I = imitation

R = repetition

Study the run up and swing

Suggestions:

  • Watch full screen (not on a cell phone)
  • First note the general process.
  • Note the hitting intent.
  • Run it back multiple times, stopping and starting. 
  • Where does the approach start (behind the ten-foot line)
  • Note the footwork.
  • See how she uses the back armswing to gain power
  • Note the explosive attack and swing (volume up). 
  • Consider using cell phone or YouTube video to study your attack.
  • You can be a "big hitter," too.  
To improve your attack, study your process. Practice the run up without a set, then fire a tennis ball, then time with sets. Coaches value athletic explosion. Explosive athletes get the job done.
